Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This is some crazy good advice. In the software dev/IT fields I preach about premature optimization to my reports all the time.
You can't optimize something that doesn't exist. Figure out exactly what you want to build (so you want video streaming mostly it sounds like, then you can figure out how to build it (probably either a NAS or just a tower with a bunch of drives in it. And then Plex/Jellyfin). Then, after you build it, you can use it.
You'll only find things to fix/make better by actually using it. Focus on getting the thing done, then you can optimize.
